I feel the shoulders. Mine are blown out.

38-55

7-30 Waters is the next on my list. As for as recoil, the Van Horn 28 Guage is a handful and my Gonic GA-90 45 caliber muzzleloader is a handful especially with heavier bullets.

Don’t know why Rob did that. Unfamiliarity. But he was used to more modern actions and made assumptions he shouldn't have.

I have a G2 Contender with a 10" 7-30 Waters barrel. It had the muzzle tamer at the business end but I had it milled off. The muzzle blast was ferocious not just in noise but in the felt blast itself as it directed it 360°. It had no muzzle flip but recoiled straight back and they have a reputation for wrecking scopes so off it came. It is still pretty loud and recoils quite significantly but is manageable. The best thing is it is wicked accurate. The smith who removed the tamer did a great job by not disturbing the muzzle crown. I don't reload so stocked up on Federal factory ammo when it was available and suffer with the flat nosed bullets. I don't hunt with it too much anymore as at 76 years old its a bit much and my 44 magnums are about my limit. I do have a 30-30 carbine barrel and convert it to rifle configuration with a beautiful Bishop laminate stock occasionally. Got a nice 8 pointer last year with it. Great video by the way. Minute of deer at 100 yards gets it done all day long.

How's the sight picture? Looks like that tube would obscure a good bit of foreground. The whole benefit of a dot optic is that you can see all of what you're aiming at.

Your .44 Special Blackhawk is a flat top! Very desirable :)

I am glad that TC corrected that with the Encore

I love my .44 mag 7.5" Ruger SBH. It's not the best finished out of the box, but the price reflects that. I got mine barely used for $500 (1985 production). I bought an oversized cylinder pin to tighten up the cylinder rotation, did a trigger job by lightly polishing up the internals, then installed a lighter trigger spring and a heavier mainspring (lighter trigger, crisper break, reduced lock-time), and put a big Hogue monogrip on it. The action is now just as nice as my buddy's .500 Mag BFR's minus slightly tighter lockup. I expect that a Freedom Arms would be head-and-shoulders above both and would love to have one, but I can't justify $3k on a revolver right now.

I love the sound of Freedom Arms when you pull back the tap. Sounds so precise and of high quality.

Love the ones I own but need this 22 set up. Loved the dogs and video.

I have a 338 jdj, really accurate but you'll definitely want a muzzle break

She ran 40 yards….stood there for 4 seconds and topped over stone dead.

Looked like a good shot, did you get her?

Wad he say, I say, wad he say

The need to open the barrel seems like a huge design flaw

2:29 am Dear sir. Are you going to mark the Thompson Center pistol Again. And When will it be ready to buy

Very good video!!

Have never known a new Blackhawk. 3 hundred and fifty dollars, that's b*******

Nice set up.

I love TC Contenders, however a weak hammer sear spring can create a unpredictable hammer. If the gun if very dirty it can be even worse. Clean and replace spring… good to go.

I had a T/C carbine 7/30 waters. Unfortunately it was stolen.

Thanks for this info and demo. I'm on the hunt for an Encore, and this part of the usage has eluded me in my research. :D

Exceptional firearm. I've owned and hunted Every year with it since 1983. It is very safe, Very Accurate and it will Not go off "by itself". Human error if it goes off.

I have 22lr, 357, 44 mag 45/ 410 and 22 hornet barrels and 2 frames. Great gun. Glad to see them coming back to life.

I was waiting to see how you released the tension on the ratchet strap without it going pop.

I am in the process of manufacturing a single-shot Kalashnikov pistol😅

True and thank you very on sharing this

so hilarious 😂😅

Good info for Novice Contender Handlers. all men may be created equal in the Eyes of the Lord yet we all have differing abities, Stay Focused when handling fire arms & Stay Safe.

I have a 10 inch model 83 in 454 and the same size super Blackhawk in 44, and a 686 -2 in 357. No one comes close to the quality and finish of a freedom arms. They make phenomenal revolvers

Good information! My Contender is the same as yours , I read that in their book first ! It’s not a problem , only a few minutes to understand how it functions!

Nice overview. Thank you.

Incrível essa crosbows! Um sonho de consumo

Great video. Just got my first Contender and it took me all of 10 minutes to get familiar with its workings. Mine does not have the hammer mounted safety however. So loaded pull trigger go boom. Empty no boom. Simple.

I’ve never handled a BFR. I’ve owned a Ruger Super Blackhawk, and I’ve handled and shot a Freedom Arms 83. The Ruger feels like a very solid gun that is tight and well put together. The Freedom Arms feels like a bank vault. The tolerances are so close, it makes the Ruger look like it’s made with giant gaps-and it is. As much as I like the Ruger, there is no comparison.

Standard Manufacturing makes some pretty dang great Single actions also! I love their color case hardened ones. Unfortunately they are a tad out my range so I have the Blackhawk convertibles 357/9mm and 45Lc/ACP. 🤷‍♂️👍🏻😏

I love waiting for the right shot but this puritan single shot communtiy refuses to acknowledge the advantage to a few extra rounds.

Pyrenees pup?

6 o clock hold

to be completely honest those rifle caliber pistols are just about worthless they mave some use as a back up or side arm but as primary weapon taking for taking game theyre worthless ive seen jack wagons trying to hunt with em on public land before but i never seen them actually take game with em but i always hear them fire and then here some lame excuse for missing the deer now a days i limit my hunting to solely on my fiances property we dont allow but two others to hunt the property and they dont use those goofy rifle caliber hand guns they laugh at em just as i do WILL NOT RESPOND TO COMMENTS

Lol thats a bird sacrum i believe but its definitely a bird and not a skull.

I believe that you are correct!

Surprisingly that is a part of the back on a turkey

Interesting. Iv deer hunted with one some and just got a 410 barrel for turkey season. Mine doesn't have the safty.. i never had any issues. I didn't know breaking the barrel would drop the hammer i never tried it. I always just get a firm thumb grip on the hammer and lower it. But on mine you don't actually don't have to open the gun to recock. Just pull the lever back that opens it and don't open the barrel and you can recock.

Awwww cute

Well done!

Nice video of a great pistol. I will never forgive Smith & Wesson for destroying Thompson Center personally. There is now a company making the TC frames (recievers) and barrels and even has grips and forends again. They even have a pistol grip with a folding stock! Look up SSK-50 reciever/frame from SSKfirearms and also Haus of Arms is their dealer FWIW. There is also CVA making this same style of single shot break open pistol and rifles that is owned by the same folks as Bergara Barrels in Spain. They do not have swappable barrels like TC did. but are extremely accurate and much, much, less expensive. I have been waiting for a SSK-50 for a year but I am about to buy a couple CVA pistols for about the same cost as 1 standard TC Contender type setup from Haus of Arms. Each new TC type barrel alone cost more than a entire CVA break open pistol which has excellent reviews and a lifetime warranty. The CVA pistols also seem to take the same TC style grips and possibly forends too. For the older, more obscure cartridges, the TC Contender and Encore is the only way to go though. I believe CVA pistols come in 204 Ruger, 6mm ARC, 223 Rem, 243 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, 300BLK, 350 legend, 44 Mag, 50 cal muzzleloader. The TC style CVA break open rifles also have 35 Whelen, 45-70 and 444 Marlin and 50 cal muzzleloader barreled models as well. Hope that helps some folks.

I found it surprising that Freedom charges extra for their trigger work. I would still pay for it because of the quality of the Model - 97.

Love the brass on the coroner of the table 🤘 thanks for the video...i know what I'm doing tomorrow.
